PICS: Ant & Dec Make Shock Appearances In More Irish Towns

Ant & Dec have popped up again and people are seriously wondering what's going on.

Television duo Ant & Dec caused a major stir at Maynooth University during the week, when they arrived for an unexpected visit. Now, they've popped up in another Irish town and people are seriously wondering what's going on.

Originally, people thought that maybe a student had entered Britain's Got Talent and the pair were there to film some scenes for the show.

This theory has been turned on its head, however, as they've popped up in Drumshanbo and Drumkeeran, Co. Leitrim.

The pair seemed to keep up their gentleman reputations, posing for snaps with excited local.

One woman shared an image of her mother at Berry's Tavern with the stars. She writes "Mum pictured behind the bar with Ant and Dec... two perfect gentlemen. An exciting afternoon in Drumshanbo."

Ant & Dec also made an appearance at The Oarsman in Carrick-on-Shannon. The restaurant writes "We had the great pleasure of extending a warm Leitrim welcome and looking after two real giants and real gents of Entertainment last night. Ant and Dec and crew came in for a meal only days after winning a BAFTA for Saturday Night Takeaway."

There has been major speculation as to why the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! presenters are in Ireland, but a source tells the Irish Mirror that it's all for a new ITV history documentary... The series is set to air next year and researchers visited Leitrim in recent months but locals had no idea who would be coming to film."

The source explained "They did DNA samples a few weeks ago and were able to trace Ant’s roots back to Drumkeeran and to a former parish priest called Fr James McPartlan, who built the local church and died about 150 years ago. It is believed there was even a reunion of McPartlins in one of the local pubs for filming, with Ant getting to meet some of his distant relatives."
